During a highspeed operation of a pump body assembly, the two sliding blocks are separately under the action of a centrifugal force. Consequently, the two sliding blocks and an inner wall of the cylinder are stuck tightly together, increasing the contact area therebetween and further increasing a friction force between the sliding blocks and the cylinder, leading to relatively high friction loss of the cylinder of the pump body assembly. Research results indicate that friction power consumption at the contact position between the sliding blocks and the cylinder reaches over 80% of overall mechanical power consumption. WO2017/024864A1 discloses a pump body assembly according to the preamble of claim 1.

However, the orientation words are not given to limit the present invention.
  • To solve the problem of relatively high friction loss of a cylinder during the operation of a pump body assembly in the related technology, a pump body assembly, fluid machinery, and a heat exchange device are provided in this invention.
  • As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the pump body assembly includes an upper flange 10, a lower flange 20, a cylinder 30, a sliding block structure 40, a piston 50, and a rotation shaft 60. The cylinder 30 is arranged between the upper flange 10 and the lower flange 20. The sliding block structure 40 is rotatably arranged inside the cylinder 30. The sliding block structure 40 includes a connecting portion 41 and two sliding sub-blocks 42 arranged on the connecting portion 41, and the two sliding sub-blocks 42 and an inner wall surface of the cylinder 30 form a first sliding hole 31. The piston 50 is slidably arranged inside the first sliding hole 31. A variable volume cavity is formed between the piston 50 and an inner wall of the cylinder 30, and the piston 50 has a second sliding hole 51. At least a portion of the rotation shaft 60 is slidably arranged inside the second sliding hole 51, and a slide included angle is formed between a first sliding direction, in which the piston 50 slides relative to the first sliding hole 31, and a second sliding direction, in which the rotation shaft 60 slides relative to the second sliding hole 51.
  • During the operation of the pump body assembly, at least a portion of the rotation shaft 60 fits the second sliding hole 51 of the piston 50 and drives the piston 50 to move, so that the piston 50 performs a reciprocating motion along the first sliding direction relative to the rotation shaft 60. When the piston 50 moves relative to the rotation shaft 60, the piston 50 slides inside the first sliding hole 31, and the sliding block structure 40 is driven by the piston 50 to move, so that the piston 50 performs a reciprocating motion along the second sliding direction relative to the sliding block structure 40. Because the slide included angle is formed between the first sliding direction and the second sliding direction, and the piston 50 performs a superposition motion of the first sliding direction and the second sliding direction, a volume distribution of the variable volume cavity can be changed during the motion of the piston 50, thereby implementing intake, compression, and exhausting operations of the pump body assembly, and ensuring normal operation of the pump body assembly.
  • In this case, the sliding block structure 40 is an integral structure, and the two sliding sub-blocks 42 are both arranged on the connecting portion 41. Compared with arrangement of two separated sliding blocks in the related technology, the foregoing structure arrangement of the sliding block structure 40 in this embodiment can avoid relatively high friction loss between the sliding block structure 40 and the cylinder 30 caused by a centrifugal force, and the friction loss of the cylinder 30 is therefore reduced, thereby prolonging the service life of the pump body assembly, and improving the working efficiency of the pump body assembly.
  • In this embodiment, the two separated sliding sub-blocks 42 are connected together via the connecting portion 41, so that centrifugal forces of the two sliding sub-blocks 42 counteract each other during the operation of the pump body assembly, and a force exerted between the sliding block structure 40 and the inner wall of the cylinder 30 is reduced, thereby reducing friction power consumption between the sliding block structure 40 and the cylinder 30.
  • In this embodiment, the variable volume cavity includes two cavities. In the process while the piston 50 moves relative to the cylinder 30, volumes of the two cavities constantly change, thereby implementing intake, compression, and exhausting operations of the pump body assembly, and ensuring normal operation of the pump body assembly. Specifically, each cavity is formed by an arc surface of the piston 50 and the inner wall of the cylinder 30.
  • As shown in FIG. 3, the first sliding direction is perpendicular to the second sliding direction. Specifically, because a cross sliding block type mechanism is formed among the piston 50, the rotation shaft 60, and the sliding block structure 40, the piston 50 moves inside the cylinder 30 stably and continuously, and a regular volume change of the variable volume cavity is ensured, thereby ensuring the operation stability of the pump body assembly, and further improving the working reliability of the pump body assembly.
  • The operation of the pump body assembly is described in detail below.
  • As shown in FIG. 12, the pump body assembly is arranged according to a principle of a cross sliding block type mechanism. The piston 50 serves as a sliding block in the cross sliding block type mechanism. A distance between a centerline O 1 of the sliding block structure 40 and a center of the piston 50, and a distance between a centerline O 2 of the rotation shaft 60 and the center of the piston 50 are respectively equivalent to two connecting rods l 1 and l 2 . In this way, a main body structure in the principle of the cross sliding block type mechanism is formed. An eccentricity between the centerline O 1 of the sliding block structure 40 and the centerline O 2 of the rotation shaft 60 is e, and the sliding block structure 40 and the rotation shaft 60 rotate around their respective centerlines. When the rotation shaft 60 rotates, the piston 50 performs a linear reciprocating slide relative to the rotation shaft 60. At the same time, the piston 50 drives the sliding block structure 40 to rotate, and performs a linear reciprocating slide relative to the sliding block structure 40, to implement actions of intake, compression, and exhausting of the pump body assembly. The piston 50 runs relative to the centerline of the sliding block structure 40 within a range of the eccentricity e. A journey of the piston 50 is 2e, a cross-sectional area of the piston 50 is S, and a displacement (that is, the maximum intake volume) of the pump body assembly is V=2(2eS).
  • According to the invention, there is at least one connecting portion 41, and the connecting portion 41 is provided with a first through hole 411 for the rotation shaft 60 to pass through. As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, there is one connecting portion 41 in this embodiment, and the connecting portion 41 is disposed at ends of the two sliding sub-blocks 42, which are proximate to the lower flange 20, to connect the two sliding sub-blocks 42 together. The foregoing structure is simple and easy to process.
  • It should be noted that the quantity and position of the connecting portion 41 are not limited thereto. Optionally, there are two connecting portions 41, and the two connecting portions 41 are respectively arranged at two ends of the sliding sub-block 42.
  • As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the sliding block structure 40 is connected to the lower flange 20 by means of pivot. Specifically, during the operation of the pump body assembly, at least a portion of the rotation shaft 60 fits the second sliding hole 51 of the piston 50 and drives the piston 50 to move, so that the piston 50 performs a reciprocating motion along the first sliding direction relative to the rotation shaft 60. When the piston 50 moves relative to the rotation shaft 60, the piston 50 slides inside the first sliding hole 31, and the sliding block structure 40 is driven by the piston 50 to rotate relative to the lower flange 20, so that the piston 50 performs a reciprocating motion along the second sliding direction relative to the sliding block structure 40. The volume distribution of the variable volume cavity can be changed during the movement of the piston 50, thereby realizing intake, compression, and exhausting operations of the pump body assembly, and ensuring normal operation of the pump body assembly.
  • In examples which do not fall within the scope of the claims, the sliding block structure is connected to the upper flange by means of pivot. Specifically, during the operation of the pump body assembly, at least a portion of the rotation shaft fits the second sliding hole of the piston and drives the piston to move, so that the piston performs a reciprocating motion along the first sliding direction relative to the rotation shaft. While the piston is moving relative to the rotation shaft, the piston slides inside the first sliding hole simultaneously, and the sliding block structure is driven by the piston to rotate relative to the upper flange, so that the piston performs a reciprocating motion along the second sliding direction relative to the sliding block structure. The volume distribution of the variable volume cavity can be changed during the movement of the piston, thereby realizing intake, compression, and exhausting operations of the pump body assembly, and ensuring normal operation of the pump body assembly.
  • In examples which do not fall within the scope of the claims, the sliding block structure is connected to the upper flange and the lower flange by means of pivot. Specifically, during the operation of the pump body assembly, at least a portion of the rotation shaft fits the second sliding hole of the piston and drives the piston to move, so that the piston performs a reciprocating motion along the first sliding direction relative to the rotation shaft. While the piston is moving relative to the rotation shaft, the piston slides inside the first sliding hole simultaneously, and the sliding block structure is driven by the piston to rotate relative to the upper flange and the lower flange, so that the piston performs a reciprocating motion along the second sliding direction relative to the sliding block structure. The volume distribution of the variable volume cavity can be changed during the movement of the piston, thereby realizing intake, compression, and exhausting operations of the pump body assembly, and ensuring normal operation of the pump body assembly.
  • According to the invention, a first connecting portion is arranged on the connecting portion 41; a second connecting portion is arranged on the lower flange 20; and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are nested and fit to connect the sliding block structure 40 with the lower flange 20. Specifically, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are nested and fit to implement assembly of the sliding block structure 40 and the lower flange 20, so that the inner structure of the cylinder 30 is more compact, and a structural arrangement is more reasonable. The foregoing structure is simple and easy to assemble and implement.
  • As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 10, the first connecting portion is the first through hole 411, and the second connecting portion is a position-limiting protrusion 21. The position-limiting protrusion 21 extends into the first through hole 411 to enable the sliding block structure 40 to pivot relative to the lower flange 20. The position-limiting protrusion 21 has a second through hole 211. The rotation shaft 60 passes through the second through hole 211. The foregoing structure arrangement makes the structure of the sliding block structure 40 and the lower flange 20 simpler, and easy to process and assemble.
  • In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, the first connecting portion is the position-limiting protrusion, and the second connecting portion is the first through hole. The position-limiting protrusion extends into the first through hole to enable the sliding block structure to pivot relative to the lower flange. The position-limiting protrusion has a second through hole. The rotation shaft passes through the second through hole. The foregoing structure arrangement makes the structure of the sliding block structure and the structure of the lower flange simpler, and easy to process and assemble.
  • As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 9, and FIG. 10, the position-limiting protrusion 21 is a round protruding platform arranged coaxially with the lower flange 20. The second through hole 211 and the round protruding platform are eccentrically arranged, and an eccentricity e is fixed, and the cylinder 30 and the lower flange 20 are arranged coaxially. Specifically, the round protruding platform extends into the first through hole 411 of the connecting portion 41, to assemble the sliding block structure 40 and the lower flange 20 together. During the operation of the pump body assembly, the piston 50, during the movement, contacts and rubs with the two sliding sub-blocks 42 of the sliding block structure 40, so that the sliding block structure 40 is driven by the piston 50 to rotate relative to the round protruding platform. At the same time, the rotation shaft 60 passes through the second through hole 211, so that the rotation shaft 60 and the round protruding platform (the sliding block structure 40) are eccentrically arranged, thereby ensuring that an eccentricity of the pump body assembly is e, and achieving normal operation of the pump body assembly.
  • In this embodiment, through the foregoing structure arrangement, the eccentricity e of the pump body assembly is determined, so that a control manner of the eccentricity e is easier to ensure, simple and reliable.
  • As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 8, an inner cavity 32 of the cylinder 30 is in a shape of a circular hole, opposite surfaces of the two sliding sub-blocks 42 are surfaces on which the piston slides, and are parallel to each other, and surfaces of the two sliding sub-blocks 42, which face the inner cavity 32, fit the shape of the inner cavity 32.
  • Optionally, the sliding block structure 40 is symmetrical. In this case, during the operation of the pump body assembly, the foregoing arrangement enables the centrifugal forces of the two sliding sub-blocks 42 to counteract each other, thereby reducing the friction loss between the sliding block structure 40 and the inner wall of the cylinder 30, and prolonging the service life of the sliding block structure 40 and the cylinder 30.
  • In some embodiments, the sliding block structure 40 is manufactured and processed through cutting. In this case, the foregoing arrangement can ensure that the sliding block structure 40 is an integral structure, and that the friction loss between the two sliding sub-blocks 42 and the cylinder 30 caused by the centrifugal forces is reduced. At the same time, the foregoing processing manner makes the sliding block structure 40 simpler and easier to process, thereby reducing labor intensity of staff.
  • Specifically, the sliding block structure 40 is a cylinder structure with a certain roughness requirement and is hollowed out along a radial direction and an axial direction. A size and a shape of a hollow part along the radial direction are identical with the size and the shape of the piston 50, so that the remaining structure is two sliding sub-blocks 42. A hollow part along the axial direction is a circular hole coaxial with the outer circle of the sliding block structure 40.
  • As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, an exhaust hole 33 is disposed in a side wall of the cylinder 30. The pump body assembly further includes an exhaust valve assembly 70. The exhaust valve assembly 70 is arranged on an outer surface of the cylinder 30 and is arranged corresponding to the exhaust hole 33.
  • As shown in FIG. 1, the rotation shaft 60 includes a cylindrical section 61 and a sliding section 62 connected sequentially along a length direction of the rotation shaft 60. The cylindrical section 61 is connected to an upper flange 10 by means of pivot. The sliding section 62 has two rotation shaft sliding surfaces arranged opposite to each other, and the two rotation shaft sliding surfaces slidably fit a groove wall of the second sliding hole 51. In this case, the sliding section 62 of the rotation shaft 60 passes through the upper flange 10 and then fits the second sliding hole 51.
  • Specifically, a motor of the pump body assembly drives the rotation shaft 60 to rotate along a central axis of the rotation shaft 60. The cylindrical section 61 rotates relative to the upper flange 10, and drives the sliding section 62 to rotate simultaneously, so that the two rotation shaft sliding surfaces of the sliding section 62 fit the groove wall of the second sliding hole 51, and that the piston 50 is driven by the rotation shaft 60 to perform a reciprocating slide along the second sliding direction.
  • In some embodiments, a lubrication groove is provided on each rotation shaft sliding surface. The lubrication groove is connected to a center hole of the rotation shaft 60 through an oil passage hole. An outer surface of the rotation shaft 60 is connected to an inner surface of the center hole through the oil passage hole. In this case, during the rotation of the rotation shaft 60, lubricating oil flows from the center hole into the lubrication groove through the oil passage hole, thereby ensuring that the lubricating oil can smoothly flow from the center hole into the lubrication groove, and lubricating the rotation shaft sliding surfaces. The foregoing arrangement guarantees the convenience of oiling from the center hole, and effectively avoids the friction loss caused by excessively large friction between the rotation shaft 60 and the piston 50, thereby improving movement smoothness of the rotation shaft 60 and the piston 50.
  • As shown in FIG. 2, the cylinder 30 has a suction passage 34 extending along a radial direction of the cylinder 30. The suction passage 34 is in communication with the first sliding hole 31. The foregoing arrangement can ensure that gas can enter the first sliding hole 31 and then enter the variable volume cavity, thereby ensuring normal operation of the pump body assembly.
  • In some embodiments, an outlet of the suction passage 34 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped outlet can not only weaken the gas vortex phenomenon, but also reduce noise generated during intake, thereby improving user's use experience. The foregoing structure is simple and easy to process. Specifically, by using one of the cavities as an example, the intake, compression, and exhausting process of the pump body assembly is described as follows: when the cavity is in communication with the suction passage 34, gas enters the variable volume cavity through the outlet, and suction starts; the rotation shaft 60 continues to drive the piston 50 and the sliding block structure 40 to rotate clockwise; when the cavity is separated from the suction passage 34, the whole suction ends; in this case, the cavity is completely sealed, and compression starts; the piston 50 continues to rotate, and the gas is constantly being compressed; when the cavity is in communication with the exhaust hole 33, the gas is exhausted through the exhaust hole 33; the piston 50 continues to rotate, and the gas is constantly being compressed and exhausted at the same time, till the cavity is completely separated from the exhaust hole 33, to complete the entire intake, compression, and exhausting process; and subsequently, after rotating for a certain angle, the cavity is connected to the suction passage 34 again, to enter a next cycle.
  • In the pump body assembly in this embodiment, the assembly process of the pump body assembly is specifically as follows:
    The sliding block structure 40 is placed into the cylinder 30 first, and the first through hole 411 of the sliding block structure 40 fits the round protruding platform of the lower flange 20. A lower end of the rotation shaft 60 extends into the second sliding hole 51 of the piston 50, and the rotation shaft 60 fits the round protruding platform of the lower flange 20. Then, the piston 50 is installed inside a radial hole of the sliding block structure having a same shape as the piston 50. Then, the cylinder 30 is sleeved on an integral structure formed by the rotation shaft 60, the piston 50, the sliding block structure 40 and the exhaust valve assembly 70. Finally, the upper flange 10 and the lower flange 20 are connected to the cylinder 30 through fasteners to complete the assembly of the pump body assembly.
  • As shown in FIG. 11, the present invention further provides fluid machinery, and the fluid machinery includes the foregoing pump body assembly. Optionally, the fluid machinery is a compressor. The compressor includes a liquid separator part 90, a housing assembly 100, a motor assembly 110, a pump body assembly 120, an upper cover assembly 130, and a lower cover and installing plate 140. The liquid separator part 90 is disposed outside the housing assembly 100. The upper cover assembly 130 is assembled on an upper end of the housing assembly 100. The lower cover and installing plate 140 is assembled on a lower end of the housing assembly 100. The motor assembly 110 and the pump body assembly 120 are both disposed inside the housing assembly 100, and the motor assembly 110 is disposed above the pump body assembly 120. The pump body assembly 120 of the compressor includes the upper flange 10, the lower flange 20, the cylinder 30, the sliding block structure 40, the piston 50, and the rotation shaft 60 that are described above.
  • Optionally, the foregoing parts are connected by means of welding, thermal sleeving, or cold pressing.
  • A heat exchange device (not shown) is further provided in this invention and includes the foregoing fluid machinery. Optionally, the heat exchange device is an air conditioner.
  • In view of the above description, it can be seen that, the foregoing embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects.
  • During the operation of the pump body assembly, at least a portion of the rotation shaft fits the second sliding hole of the piston and drives the piston to move, so that the piston performs a reciprocating motion along the first sliding direction relative to the rotation shaft. When the piston moves relative to the rotation shaft, the piston slides inside the first sliding hole simultaneously, and the sliding block structure is driven by the piston to move, so that the piston performs a reciprocating motion along the second sliding direction relative to the sliding block structure. The slide included angle is formed between the first sliding direction and the second sliding direction, and the piston performs a superposition motion of the first sliding direction and the second sliding direction, so the volume distribution of the variable volume cavity can be changed during the movement of the piston, thereby implementing intake, compression, and exhausting operations of the pump body assembly, and ensuring the normal operation of the pump body assembly.
  • In this case, the sliding block structure is an integral structure, and the two sliding sub-blocks are both arranged on the connecting portion. Compared with arrangement of two separated sliding blocks in the related technology, the foregoing structure arrangement of the sliding block structure in this invention avoids the relatively high friction loss between the sliding block structure and the cylinder caused by the centrifugal forces, thereby reducing the friction loss of the cylinder, prolonging the service life of the pump body assembly, and improving the working efficiency of the pump body assembly.
